Overview
This node integrates with the Fireberry API to create new records of a specified object type. It allows users to specify the object type and set values for multiple fields within that record. This operation is useful when you want to add new data entries into Fireberry from an n8n workflow, such as creating a new customer, order, or any custom entity defined in Fireberry.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically adding new leads collected from a web form into Fireberry.
- Creating new inventory items in Fireberry when they are added in another system.
- Logging new support tickets or cases into Fireberry from external sources.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Object Type Name or ID | The Fireberry object type where the new record will be created. You can select from a list of available object types or specify an ID using an expression. |
| Fields | A collection of fields to set on the new record. For each field: |
| - Field Name or ID | The name or ID of the field to set. Selectable from the object's fields or via expression. |
| - Use Dropdown Values | Boolean option indicating whether to select a value from predefined dropdown options for this field (if applicable). |
| - Dropdown Value Name or ID | If "Use Dropdown Values" is enabled, select the dropdown value by name or ID from available options. |
| - Field Value | The value to assign to the field if not using dropdown values. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created record returned from the Fireberry API. This typically includes the record's unique identifier and all fields with their assigned values as stored in Fireberry.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Fireberry API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node depends on Fireberry's REST API endpoints to create records and retrieve metadata such as object types and field definitions.
- Proper permissions in Fireberry are necessary to create records for the selected object type.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Specifying an invalid object type or field name/ID may result in errors from the Fireberry API.
- Providing incorrect field values, especially for dropdown fields without enabling "Use Dropdown Values," can cause validation errors.
- Network connectivity issues can prevent communication with the Fireberry API.
Error Messages:
"The operation "create" is not supported!"— indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation requested.- API error messages related to invalid fields or missing required fields should be resolved by verifying the field names and ensuring all mandatory fields are provided.
- Authentication errors require checking the API key credential setup.
